  • the state information memories 9-1 to 9-n store report flags RF for reporting change in the state information to the communication unit 1-2 (collecting communication unit).
  • the state monitoring portions 7-1 to 7-n monitor whether or not the state information of the functional block portions 5-1 to 5-n are changed. When the state information are changed, the state monitoring portions 7-1 to 7-n rewrite the state information stored in the state information memories 9-1 to 9-n and also set the report flag RF to "1".
  • the transmitting/receiving I/F 11-1 to 11-n Upon receiving, from other communication units, the recovery command for recovering the state information of the communication units 1-1, 1-3 to 1-15 to the communication unit 1-2 serving as the collection destination, the transmitting/receiving I/F 11-1 to 11-n reset the report flag stored in the state information memories 9-1 to 9-n, then add the state information and their own addresses stored in the state information memories 9-1 to 9-n to the recovery command, and then transmit them.
  • the report flag is reset to "0" at initial state.

Finally, it is decided whether or not the process is to be continued (step S21). If the process is to be continued, the process returns to step S11.
  • the transmitting/receiving I/F 11-3 of the communication unit 1-3 receives the recovery command from the communication unit 1-1.
  • the processes are carried out in accordance with the flowchart shown in FIG.2.

In other words, the transmitting/receiving I/F 11-3 writes its own address and the state information into the second information area of the data area of the recovery command not to overwrite them, then sets the corresponding write flag WF, and then transmits the recovery command to the communication unit 1-4.
  • the recovery command is transmitted in the order of the communication units 1-5, 1-6,..., 1-n. If the state information have been changed in respective communication units, the transmitting/receiving I/Fs write their own addresses and the state information into the information areas of the data area of the recovery command not to overwrite them, then set the write flags WF, and then transmit the recovery command to the succeeding communication unit.

  • the transmitting/ receiving I/F 11-2 receives the recovery command from the communication unit 1-n, and stores respective state information in the received recovery command into the state information memory 9-2.
  • the state information in the state information memories are rewritten and the report flags are set.
  • the report flag is reset, then its own address and the state information are added to the recovery command, and then they are transmitted.
  • the state information included in the recovery command in respective communication units can be transmitted to the communication unit 1-2 by transmitting the recovery command only once from the last communication unit 1-n. Therefore, collision of the state information from respective communication units can be avoided.
  • a recovery time can be reduced shorter than the case where the state information in all the communication units are to be recovered.
  • FIG.4 shows a configuration of the recovery command identified by the destination address.
  • the recovery command shown in FIG.4 comprises an address area, a command area, and a data area.
  • the address area includes a source address, and a destination address having an identification flag IDF indicating that this command is the recovery command.
  • the command area includes a command.
  • the data area includes a plurality of information areas each of which has a set of its own address, state information, and a write flag WF.
